Internode Business Connect (IBC) is a private IP network that connects businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

With so much riding on the performance of the network, today's wide area networking solutions must provide increased reach, greater application awareness, and higher capacity to improve response times - while lowering implementation and operating costs. Internode Business Connect (IBC) can deliver these benefits to your organisation.

Today's IP networks also require careful traffic engineering to ensure peak performance - in terms of high data delivery ratios, low latency or 'round trip transit delay', and minimal latency variation or 'jitter'. When combined, these parameters provide the necessary Quality of Service to meet the demanding requirements of internal business networks.

IBC has multiple levels of security, including physical POP security, strict authentication requirements and MPLS and L2TP traffic separation. This security is fully managed by Internode's support teams.

Key Benefits

Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation - For optimising the performance of applications with differing network requirements (for example, voice and video over IP).

A variety of high-speed access technologies - Ranging from cost-effective Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services including Easy Broadband ADSL2+, through to high performance SHDSL and Ethernet services delivering both scalability and performance.

Online performance monitoring - NodeMonitor is included with every IBC network, providing you with 'at a glance' status reports on your business network.

Quality of Service

IBC offers the capacity for customer specific Quality of Service configuration, so that you can prioritise business-critical traffic to better manage throughput and latency. During the design process our engineers will consult with you to understand your specific information technology environment, in order to optimise your IBC solution.

The High Availability Solution

Internode provides a tailored range of service levels for IBC, reflecting the wide range of business requirements. For example, the core MPLS network is backed by our service level agreement of 99.9% availability. We believe high availability is a natural result of careful design and implementation, and provide options for redundant network access services at business-critical sites.

In addition, IBC customers have 24x7 access to the Internode Corporate Help Desk. This is a dedicated and highly skilled technical team, responsible for the implementation and ongoing support of your network solution.

Performance and Management

Being routed with priority on Internode's own MPLS IP network ensures reliable performance. A single connection point for each site into the IBC network reduces the need for time-consuming and complex network management - leave that to us.

Our NodeMonitor Basic system is provided with every IBC network at no additional charge - giving you a convenient, real-time view of your network status, 24x7. This service is automatically upgraded to Premium whenever you select Internode for management of your on-site routers, providing more detailed traffic analysis capabilities. Alternatively you can manage your own site routers, and purchase NodeMonitor Premium for your key business sites as required.
